Delighted you received WOTM, as the award made sure I read this great report. I have enjoyed two clear-day outings to Braeriach in the past....and neither compares with your experience.

For anyone wanting to follow this route, it's possible to avoid the rocks in the Chalamain Gap by sticking to its upper edge on the Creag a'Chalamain (NW) side: there is a faint path and the extra height gain is only about 20m.


why would you want to avoid the chalamain gap?

Thanks for all the good feedback guys. I must admit I was surprised when the email dropped into my inbox. Looking forward to my next trip north and another tale.
